Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber Unite for Their First Photos Together

Both Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber were guests of the Academy Museum for their second annual gala on Saturday night. The two are often linked by their connection to Justin Bieber, who dated Gomez on-and-off for years before eventually marrying Hailey. The pair seem to wish to put rumors of ongoing conflict to rest, because they posed for pictures together for the first time in public while at the event.

The women’s joint snaps, which show them sitting close together and smiling, were taken by photographer Tyrell Hampton Oct. 15 at the star-studded 2022 Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles, to which the women arrived separately. The celebration, presented by Rolex, marked the most high-profile event both have attended at the same time.

On Oct. 16, Tyrell posted one of his pics of the women on his Instagram and Hailey, who called the event a “beautiful night” on her own page, liked his post. So did more than half a million people.

In fact, the photo has touched the hearts of scores of who have followed the saga involving the three stars.

The images come just a few weeks after the entire saga was brought up again during an interview with Hailey on Call Her Daddy. There have been rumors that the timeline of her relationship with Justin overlapped with Gomez’s, which she denied.

“When him [Justin] and I ever started like hooking up or like anything of that sort, he was not ever in a relationship ever, at any point,” Hailey said. “It’s not my character to mess with someone’s relationship.”

She continued, “A lot of the hate, and the perpetuation, comes from the misperception, ‘Oh, you stole him.’ It comes from the fact that they wished he had ended up with someone else and that’s fine. You can wish that all you want but that’s just not the case.”

Hailey said of Justin’s relationship with Gomez, “It’s hard for me to talk about this because I don’t want to talk on either one of their behalf, again, because it was their relationship, and I honestly respect that very deeply.”

She added, “I just feel like there’s a little bit of that anxiety of people will probably take it the wrong way or I just don’t want to say something that is being disrespectful or bringing up something that can stir up feelings for someone. I know that we’re just all so moved on from any type of drama, and I’m so happy for that so I get nervous about talking about it because I don’t want to like stir anything up or bring anything up that is going to be like a thing.”

Hailey also stated that she and Gomez have spoken since her wedding to Justin, adding, “There’s no drama, personally.”
